Daredevil Photographer Dies After Falling Off Skyscraper in Hong Kong

Daredevil Photographer Dies After Falling Off Skyscraper in Hong Kong

One of Remi Lucidi’s epic photos taken on one of his extreme escapades.

French photographer and extreme sports athlete Remi Lucidi has died after falling off the 68th floor of a building in Hong Kong.

Lucidi, 30, was climbing the Trengunter Tower complex when he slipped and fell to his death. He was known online as Remi Enigma and traveled the world scaling tall structures and taking incredible photos and selfies.

Police in China are investigating what happened with officers visiting the Tsim Sha Tsui hostel where he checked in on July 17.

According to the South China Morning Post, he was last seen alive knocking on a penthouse window on the Tregunter Tower on Thursday. A domestic worker inside the flat saw him and called the police but he fell before officers arrived. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The newspaper also reports that a source familiar with the case says it is possible Lucidi has gotten into difficulties while climbing and had been knocking on the window for help before he fell.

Remi Lucidi

Lucidi had last updated his Instagram page with a photo showing a view far above the city with the caption “Hong Kong.” That post is now filled with messages of condolences as friends and fans come to terms with what happened.

“Rip brother. Sad news no one ever wants to hear about a fellow explorer,” writes one person.

Photographer

Lucidi was an unusual photographer in that he fearlessly scaled high buildings with no safety equipment — even train surfing while holding aloft a selfie stick for epic photos of himself.

Leading such an extraordinary life gave him photo opportunities that most photographers can only dream of. He captured stunning portraits of travel companions sitting in freight trains as well as stomach-churning selfies of himself hanging off terrifyingly high buildings.

He would also bring a drone with him on his adventures to capture mesmeric shots of himself in his high-up surroundings.

Lucidi was from Montpellier, France, and began posting updates of his exploits in 2016 when he began climbing cranes, bridges, and Ferris wheels.

The French consulate has been informed of Lucidi’s death as a police investigation into the incident continues.

Cloudy vs. Sunny: Photographer Investigates How Light Affects a Photo

Cloudy vs. Sunny: Photographer Investigates How Light Affects a Photo

A photo taken in the exact same spot but in different conditions.

A photographer has investigated how light and the weather affects a photo by shooting the same location twice — once when it’s sunny and once when it’s cloudy.

Dan Ginn is from the U.K., a country notorious for its grey weather. But sunny days do sometimes occur and Ginn tells PetaPixel he wanted to show viewers how light “greatly impacts” the way people see the world.

“I’m originally from Leeds, England, which isn’t exactly known for its vibrancy. Yet, on bright, sunny days the city comes alive and you begin to see things you may not notice on its more traditional dark, gray, gloomy days,” he says.

Ginn shot a total of 12 locations in dull and bright light, he invites the viewer to see how they feel when viewing the differing tones.

“While I like both sets of images, it’s clear that bright sunlight makes a location seem more inviting,” he says.

“If I am shooting a bit of street mixed with the landscape of a city, certainly when the Sun is out. I am really into vibrant colors, and as we all know, sunshine and a clear sky are fantastic for making those colors pop.”

Ginn says that he got the idea for the project on a day when the rain was coming down hard.

“Once or twice a week, I make an effort to sit without distractions (cell, laptop, etc.) and only be with my thought,” he explains. “The idea to make a contrasting photo of the same location came to mind.”

Ginn says the project has rekindled his love for his home city of Leeds, an often overlooked metropolitan area in northern England after he spent the last five years traveling the world.

“Since then even on gloomy days, I have a love for the city and all that it has to offer — I just needed the sunshine to help me see it,” he says.

“This is not unique to the north of England either. Plenty of places around the world lose credibility because of miserable weather conditions. However, every city has a pulse, so I encourage others to look closer and take advantage of the good days.”

OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G Sets a New Benchmark for Professional Smartphone Portrait Photography

OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G Sets a New Benchmark for Professional Smartphone Portrait Photography
  • With a team of over 1,000 dedicated imaging specialists and an annual investment of approximately US$156 million, OPPO sets a new standard for professional portrait photography on smartphones
  • The Reno10 Pro+ 5G introduces end-to-end upgrades for portrait photography, including a professional quality telephoto lens, advanced image processing architecture, improved portrait mode, and a high-resolution Ultra-clear Display
  • OPPO launched 2023 imagine IF Photography Awards to encourages users to explore artistic expression through new imaging experiences and inspire each other to unleash the infinite possibilities of imaging

DUBAI, UAE, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — As photo and video content has transformed the way we communicate with each other, today’s smartphone users expect more out of the camera on their phones. In response to this, smartphone brands including OPPO have been going all out to create camera systems capable of capturing clear, high-quality, and true-to-life images. On the recently launched Reno10 Pro+ 5G, OPPO has created a professional-level portrait photography experience across every aspect of the imaging chain to set a new benchmark for professional portrait photography on a smartphone.

Setting a new standard for professional portrait photography on smartphone

The rapid increase in available computational power on smartphones in recent years has led many smartphone brands to introduce so-called image ‘optimization’ or ‘beautification’ effects to create brighter, more eye-catching images, OPPO recognizes that light and shadow play a key role in good photography by making portraits appear more three dimensional and lifelike.

While smartphone image processing algorithms can lower the barrier for good photography, over reliance on these algorithms can also destroy much of the natural information in the image. In order to create timeless masterpieces, OPPO aims to combine traditional photography knowledge with smart computational photography techniques to build an imaging system capable of reproducing the ultra-realistic interconnection between light and shadow, space, and true-to-life colours.

With a team of over 1,000 dedicated imaging specialists and an annual investment of approximately US$156 million, OPPO aims to empower users to shoot enduring and exquisite photographs on their mobile phones. Asides from its own internal efforts, OPPO also frequently collaborates with acclaimed photographers, lighting engineers, and post-production specialists to incorporate their insights and expertise on what defines good portrait photography into its own products to define its fundamental standard for excellent smartphone portrait photography: professional level images with clear details, natural colours, and ultra-realistic light and shadow effects.

End-to-end upgrades bring pro-level portrait photography to smartphone on the Reno10 Pro+ 5G

On the new Reno10 Pro+ 5G, OPPO has implemented end-to-end upgrades across the entire image experience, from shooting to image processing and display, to deliver SLR-standard portrait photography capabilities based on new breakthroughs in image clarity, light, shadow, and colour.

The smartphone introduces an independent, professional quality telephoto lens for the first time in Reno series to improve image clarity and quality from its foundation. It features a large 64MP, ½ inch sensor with greater colour sensitivity and a 3-times optical zoom, offering more freedom of composition and attention to both subject and background. Additionally, the Reno10 Pro+ 5G also includes a new optical quality 6-times zoom built on OPPO’s In-sensor Zoom Technology for further magnification. On top of these features, the lens is coated with an ALD anti-reflective optical coating includes cutting-edge Prime floating OIS for improved image stabilization.

While the camera design of the Reno10 Pro+ 5G emphasizes capturing high quality images from the source, image processing still plays a key role in optimizing the captured information. OPPO’s new image processing architecture leverages the power of the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform and utilizes multi-frame synthesis. By dedicating such a huge amount of processing resources to this task, the Reno10 Pro+ 5G is able to perform multi-frame synthesis in the RAW domain, resulting in improved low light HDR photos, portrait mode, and high-resolution digital zoom. Through improvements in AI denoising, AI demosaicing, and deep pixel compositing, the Reno10 Pro+ 5G delivers new breakthroughs in image clarity, colour, and restores natural light and shadow in images, resulting in photos with realistic 3D details.

The Reno series’ renowned Portrait Mode also returns to the Reno10 Pro+ 5G and has been updated with bokeh flare effect, adjustable aperture settings, and improved subject-background separation algorithms.  Further to this, multi-semantic segmentation has been implemented to improve detection accuracy for repetitive textures and other scenes, and edge feathering algorithms are used to optimize the appearance of edges based on depth data.

As the last stage in both shooting and reviewing photos, the screen is in many ways just as important as all the other steps that come before it. So, to give the fantastic photos and videos shot on the Reno10 Pro+ 5G the stage they deserve, the smartphone features a 2772 × 1240 resolution Ultra-clear Display in the form of ProXDR Smart Display Control. This technology uses a high-precision image recognition algorithm to automatically detect light sources stored in the grayscale image data and locally adjust screen brightness, accordingly, resulting in up to 8-times higher dynamic range.

Putting professional masterpieces in the hands of everyone

As part of its ongoing commitment to creating a professional and inclusive portrait shooting experience on the Reno series, OPPO is introducing the Portrait Expert Project with the Reno10 series. This project draws on the expertise of professional portrait photographers and takes inspiration from their mastery of light and multi-cultural perspectives to continuously optimize the underlying portrait technologies of the Reno series. Through enhancements to subject recognition, facial features and skin tone protection, and background optimization, OPPO empowers Reno users to capture fantastic portraits that combine a professional photographer’s eye with their own styles and preferences.

Together with inputs from the Portrait Expert Group, OPPO is also seeking feedback from its global users through the new OPPO imagine IF Photography Project. Launched on April 17, the 2023 imagine IF Photography Awards encourages users to explore artistic expression through new imaging experiences and inspire each other to unleash the infinite possibilities of imaging.

By continuously enhancing its camera offerings and benchmarking against professional camera standards, OPPO continues to create the most professional imaging experience on a smartphone. On the latest Reno10 series, OPPO continues to narrow the gap between smartphone cameras and high-end DSLRs with end-to-end improvements that put professional masterpieces in the hands of everyone.

Sony’s photography-focused Xperia 5 III with dedicated shutter button now $598 (Save $400)

Sony’s photography-focused Xperia 5 III with dedicated shutter button now $598 (Save $400)

Sony makes some of the more unique smartphones on the market, and now we’re seeing the best price yet on one of them. Amazon is now offering the unlocked Sony Xperia 5 III 5G 128GB for lower than ever before, dropping the handset to $598 shipped. Typically fetching $998, today’s offer lands at $400 off while beating our previous mention by an extra $100. It’s only the second offer of the year and now lands at a new all-time low. As one of the more recent additions to Sony’s stable of photography-focused smartphones, its Xperia 5 III comes centered around a Snapdragon 888 chip that powers the 6.1-inch 21:9 120Hz display. Its photography features are really what let this one stand out from the competition, and we explore that below the fold.

The real enticing features for the Xperia 5 III arrive for those who plan on using this as a camera first and foremost, with a unique feature set on that photography front. There is a triple sensor camera array around back that sports ZEISS optics, dual PDAF sensors for fast autofocus, and AS super resolution zoom to help capture far away subjects. Not to mention, 120FPS recording and plenty of customizable settings to complement the dedicated shutter button. All of the details are also available in , too.

With that all-time low attached, using some of the added savings to bring home the Spigen Rugged Armor Case seems like a good call to protect all of that photography process. The cover sells for just $14 at Amazon and helps keep your new handset protected with a flexible TPU design.

Of course, the spotlight this week is still resting on the new debuts from Samsung. And we wouldn’t be 9to5Toys if we didn’t have some enticing offers to share. Just announced in the middle of last week, you can now save as much as $400 on unlocked Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 devices. Combining cash discounts on elevated storage capacities with bundled gift cards, these pre-order sales offer a chance to land one of the all-new foldables for less. And best of all? There’s no trade-ins required.

Sony Xperia 5 III features:

For those serious about creating and enjoying mobile content, the frosted glass and blasted metal frame of the Sony XPERIA 5 III Dual-SIM 128GB 5G Smartphone is packed with technology for photographers, cinephiles, and gamers alike. Taking cues from their Sony Alpha cameras, the triple rear 12MP lenses and ZEISS optics give you a wide range of imaging capabilities.

Should we look? Lakehead prof helps shed light on atrocity photography

Should we look? Lakehead prof helps shed light on atrocity photography

Orillia-based scholar Valerie Hébert served as an author and editor for a new book called Framing the Holocaust: Photographs of a Mass Shooting in Latvia, 1941.

The Lakehead University professor is one of eight contributors to the book, which takes a deep dive into 12 photographs that document a mass shooting of Jewish people on a beach in Latvia in December 1941.

“When a lot of people think about the Holocaust, they think of Auschwitz and they think of trains,” Hébert said. “Before the death camps were built, the mass killings began with mobile shooting squads that combed through the Eastern Front as the Nazi army advanced.”

Hébert says the mobile shooting squads would gather alleged racial and political enemies and shoot them to death. More than a million people were killed using this terrorizing tactic.

“These 12 photographs show the sequential steps in one of these shooting actions,” she explained. “Jews were brought to this place, were made to undress. They were separated into smaller groups and brought to a ditch that was dug parallel with the sea, and they were shot. Their bodies fell into the ditch.”

Four men are connected to the photographs, but it’s unknown for sure who took them. The photos were turned in to the Soviet investigators by a Jewish Latvian man and are commonly used today in Holocaust museums but are rarely attributed to the correct time and place.

“This book provides an in-depth study and the historical context for these photos,” Hébert said.

In 2017, Hébert organized a workshop at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., on atrocity photography.

“Photographs are sort of at the cutting edge of Holocaust research in particular,” she said. “There is more and more interest in this field of atrocity photography.”

She invited scholars from Canada, the U.S., Germany and Australia to the two-week workshop to talk about their work in atrocity photography and to look at materials from the museum.

“The idea was to put together a book where we are all speaking about the same images,” she said. “We chose these 12 photos because it’s rare to have so many in a clear sequence.”

The images show partially clothed and naked women and children caught in moments of terror.

“They really push us to the edge of what it is we can bear to look at,” she said. “The key question of the book is if they are so unbearable to look at, why should we even engage with them? What can we gain from them? And what can they tell us?”

Each author in the book brings a different question to the photos.

For Hébert, studying photos goes back to her childhood. Her interest in history comes from looking through her grandfather’s Time Life coffee table book of photographs from the 20th century.

“From the time I was little, I would look at this book and would be really drawn to photographs,” she said.

Hébert, who has a PhD in history, uses photographs often in her teaching at Lakehead University.

“I’ve taught Holocaust courses, I’ve taught courses on the world wars, and at first I was always uneasy about showing photographs of dead bodies and people in distress,” she said.

“There are some really important questions around these people not giving their consent to be photographed. A lot of times, the photographs are a part of the torture and humiliation because the photographer is using the moment to deepen their suffering.”

Through the process of creating the book, Hébert asked herself if bringing light to the photographs continued the humiliation and horror of victims. She also asked herself if the pictures were important evidence that help people understand history.

“The chapter that I contributed to the book looks at that ethical question,” she said. “Should we look at these? Should we not? And what are the arguments on both sides?”

The chapter sets the stage for all of the following chapters in the book, and Hébert hopes readers who pick up the book will gain a new appreciation for how rich and complex photographs are.

“We have this idea that photographs tell us everything, the truth is on its surface, and we understand everything by looking at the photograph, but we don’t,” she said. “So, it’s really important to consider who took the photograph, who was the intended audience, and what that might mean.”

While the photographs in the book were taken as a celebration of the crime, they’re also an indictment, which makes it important to understand the many meanings photographs hold, Hébert says.

“It helps us think more critically about historical photographs that we see,” she said. “We are a more visual culture now with social media and Instagram. It’s all image based now.”

She says photographs can transcend language, time and geography, which makes it important to have a more critical and nuanced way of understanding pictures while being aware of their ethical complications, which makes people better consumers of present-day photojournalism.

“The ones in the book help us understand this particular event in the Holocaust,” she said. “The way that the authors model how we read and interpret these photographs, there is a lot of crossover to how you may engage in photographs of other historical events or present-day crises and human rights issues.”
